Reminders

Other Topics

(Try to keep things timeboxed and concrete. E.g., can we actually make a yes/no decision in this meeting? If not, discuss on list first.)

Q & A

Anything Else?

  • [flaki] Please share your feedback re: new direction of @mozhacks Twitter!
    • More cross-browser stuff ("One Web"), but keep the Mozilla focus
    • More "Cool Stuff™" in general
    • Think more @smashingmag, and a bit less @mozilla
    • Push speaker visibility (both devrel, TechSpeakers and mozillians)
    • Same goes for Cool Stuff™ by mozillians — projects, experiments etc
    • More "active" content — ❤ animated gifs ❤ screerecs/screencasts ❤ videos/vines ❤
    • More tweets in general (incl on weekends)
    • More emojis 😎📣🚀
    • Experiments, like https://twitter.com/mozhacks/status/709810652362072064?s=09
  • We are open to suggestions and ideas (even the wildest ones).
